A review by hevleary
The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum

2.0

I didn't hate this book, but I certainly didn't love it. I don't mind the slightly unbelievable drunken brain surgery, or the fact that a man can be shot multiple times yet always recover to full physical strength, to me these are things that occur in every thriller. What I really didn't like was that because the main character had no idea what was going on, often I had no idea what was going on. I'm not even sure the author did most if the time. I spent ages rereading over engineered fight scenes and trying to figure out the story! Maybe I'm just stupid, but for me this didn't read as well as I would have wanted!
